Mr Litvinenko, who was a fierce critic of former Russian President Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Ras-Putin should have shared the fate of Ceausescu when the Soviet Union fell. All top Commie leaders in Eastern Europe should have been liquidated, and the other Party members sent to the gulags they created, then given nice big "show trials" where they would have to publicly denounce socialism in all its flavors, then curse Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and all the other Soviet "saints." Then they should have been forced to dig up and spit on the mummies of Lenin and Stalin. Then they should have spent the rest of their lives as slave laborers building monuments and museums so future generations would know all about the socialist holocaust. Even after demonstrating penitence, they should have been banned from any participation whatsoever in politics.

I agree completely. There has been some recent articles by investigative journalist which claims there was no assassination at all. A simple case of polonium smuggling and accidental contamination. This makes the most sense to me since polonium is too expensive and too dangerous to the potential assassin to ever be considered a realistic choice for the purpose of assassination. If smuggling is involved it does bring up a rather more frightful scenario which explains why the Brits would rather take the murder angle.

Vladimir Ras-Putin should have shared the fate of Ceausescu when the Soviet Union fell...Even after demonstrating penitence, they should have been banned from any participation whatsoever in politics.agree..instead they're worshiped @ many (if not all levels of) colleges / universities...
